North America
Our client was the Canadian headquarters of one of North America’s largest insurance companies. This division was responsible for group health benefits claims for both individuals and group policies. Annual claims processed are in the billions of dollars.
The challenge
The client was seeking to augment its fraud investigative capabilities with an AI system. Current fraud recoveries were less than the industry stated belief that 3% to 10% of all claims had some element of fraud or abuse.
Our solution
- Daisy Fraud Detection: Automated AI-based fraud detection system that would identify potential fraud for both historical claims as well as in-process claims before adjudication was completed.
The first step to building an operational AI-based fraud detection capability was to assess the amount of fraud, waste and abuse that was detectable and recoverable or avoidable. Once the magnitude of the opportunity was understood, a business case could be developed to enhance existing capabilities. The client identified that Daisy’s AI platform for insurance could be a fit to achieve the project objectives and engaged Daisy in a trial.
The client dedicated a single investigator per line of business to work with the Daisy system. The first phase of the trial was a backward-looking review of historical claims using the Daisy system. If sufficient evidence was uncovered in the historical review, a second phase of the trial would be to use the system in an operational test to determine the actual recoveries that can be achieved using the Daisy system.
Results:
The Daisy system applied to historical data delivered a business case that showed that potential annual fraud recoveries/avoidance between $10 million to $50 million across the two lines of business was possible. The business case was sufficient to deploy the system into an operational test for a further six months. During the operational test, significant fraud, waste and abuse avoidance was achieved using the Daisy system.
